Brief historical overview research in the field of corrosion inhibitors, implemented in the facility on the front of the centuries

Mass use of metals as structural materials, exactly iron (steels), has a significant lack related with their destruction in natural and man-made corrosive environments. The article presents a brief analysis of the results and achievements of scientists and specialists of UPI-USPTU obtained in the study of theoretical and practical aspects of the creation and application of electrochemical corrosion inhibitors. The main attention is paid to the action of acidic water and water-organic corrosive media on the surface of metals and structural materials used in the creation of oil refining equipment. In the period from 1960 to 2010, a number of corrosion inhibitors based on heterocyclic compounds were developed in UPI-USPTU to prevent the destruction of metal and steel alloys in natural and man-made aggressive environments, the mechanism of their action was established and the efficiency of practical use was justified.
